Biography

A tall, fair-haired model since the late sixties, Christine Hewitt appeared in the cantina sequence of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) together with another "Space Girl", Angela Staines. Although the casting call asked for blonde girls, both of them were fitted with black beehive style wigs for the occasion. Even though she was on screen for less than 5 seconds in the finished film, her character received a name and a back-story through Star Wars games and merchandising, and is listed as such on this database. Nowadays, Christine Hewitt still works as a 'mature model' in commercials and in uncredited roles in films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) and Bridget Jones's Diary (2001).
